Colorado State University Facilities Management Keeps Campus Water Safe

Facilities Management of Colorado State University maintains water flowing through the pipes of unoccupied buildings by running faucets and flushing toilets. This ensures that the water remains safe to drink. Meanwhile, for buildings that usually serve large numbers of people and have extensive plumbing systems, it is impractical to continuously flush water through the pipes. CSU has posted signs on such buildings indicating that the water is not safe to drink and will flush the system upon reopening.
